On overall great stay, and one I would recommend for living like a real (comfortable) local.
Pros:
- The host: Quick communication and excellent care throughout the stay.
- The check-in process: The host's father facilitated this and it was a breeze.
- Homely: You definitely feel like you are living locally here and the furniture is just right, with nice utilitarian touches.
- Surrounding facilities: Fantastic local food within a 5 minute walk, right by a 7/11. Tesco is a bit further afield, being about 5-10 minutes by scooter and not what I would consider within walking distance.
- Transport: We had a rented scooter but had visitors come easily by train (with 10-15 mins of walking from the station). Via the scooter, it was outside of the congestion hub but super well-connected via major roads.
Cons:
- The building is not very new, meaning that the amenities aren't what you might get in other buildings. This applies to the pool, rooftop lounge, and gym. Usable but not the most comfortable.
- We did have some bug troubles, with a roach making an appearance every 3-5 days. That is, until we identified that they were entering from the balcony. We then started spraying that balcony every day before heading out for food and had no more bug issues.
